Fairy Tale

Hi there, these days everyone has started asking me why I took up writing blogs(It could be just to find out who adviced me to take up writing, so that they can bully him).So, I thought I will make it clear, I came to know in recent times that every individual has hidden talent and its like I'm trying out all the different things just to find out what I possess.So do you think, that blogging is my hidden talent, lemme know?

Before reading any further, answer this "Whats your favourite fairy tale?", do mail me your answer after you finish reading this article. "Cindrella" was my all time favourite fairy tale. The two top most reasons being, I played "Cindrella" when I was in fourth standard and even in real life I can relate to the character "Cindrella". I have always admired the patience and perseverance of the character. "...and they lived happily ever after" are my favorite lines from any fairy tale, whenever I read one, the only thing that comes to my mind is "Mera number kab ayega".

Fantasies and fairy tales... are somethings that take us into a different world, away from the stark realities of life. Sometimes funny thoughts cross my mind, when I'm rounded up by loads of troubles..what if I had a magic wand..what if I have a fairy mother ..that will put an end to all my trouble. But life's not that simple and easy as in fariy tales, one has to face it , no one may come to our rescue. But I strongly believe that every individual has immense strength inside ones own self which plays the part of magic wands and fairy mothers as in fairy tales. Its just that one realises about it only in need, only then he becomes a super man.

Fairy tales..beautiful imaginations of writers; imaginations though hard to believe and accept give us immense joy and happiness atleast for the moment when they cross our mind. But after this short lived moment, one is back into reality, every day struggle of life; the difference a beautiful imagination makes depends totally on the individual. One with courage and strength will try and make his imagination a reality; one who is weak will let out a heavy sigh and may forget it. Here, I'm not in any way implying things that's beyond reach i.e; its perfectly valid to imagine to get married to a Prince but there is no point trying to make it a reality, but on this occassion it doesn't mean that I'm weak.

Those were my thoughts on fairy tales and imaginations. There are people who keep running away from the most troubling facts of their life and live in their imaginations. But they cannot continue doing that for a very long time even if they want to do so, there will be a time when they have to accept life as it is ...rather than imagining what it is not[I'm one such character..who have always enjoyed dreaming and imagining]. And when the time comes, "One has to live life rather than dreams ".Here I would like to recall a beautiful dialogue from "Dil wale dulhaniya lejayenge", "Khwab dekho, lekin unko puri karne ki shart mat rakho" ..... the very fact to a happy and contended life.

And finally to conclude this "Fairy Tale" of mine, "Though life is not as simple as a fairy tale, the conclusion to every tale of life will be similar to a fairy tale ending; put your sincere efforts in .. aur aapka number jaldi hi aajayega" :-) .

"Dhanam moolam, idam jagath"

Before I start my new article I would like to thank all my friends, who really proved of how much they care about how I feel, by leaving some nice, sweet and lovely comments on my articles despite knowing the fact that they were not entirely true when they were writing those. I'm just being totally totally myself (as everyone knows that I have a real bad sense of humor), so please ignore any of my comments , don't take them personally and do continue the difficult task of reading my articles.

"Dhanam moolam, idam jagath" ... a sanskrit verse saying "Money forms the root of this world" and my understanding of this eternal truth so far is the content of this article. The fact about money that amuses me the most is, its such a unique invention made by a human being that it enslaved the very creator. When I was young I used to think as to why do we have poor people, why can't the government print more currency and distribute among the poor, was my simple solution to poverty. But as I grew up (I understood how stupid I was) I understood how important money was in life and how careful one should be when dealing with it.

No..I'm not going to list any money saving tips under this, so not to worry too much. Accept it or not "Money" plays a major role in everyone's life. We work for money which in turn leads to a comfortable life. So, the comforts in ones life are directly proportional to the money they have. Everyone desires for a comfortable life, but does more money make a human being content and happy? Does money solve all the problems ? Answer to this is a bit complicated, this is what I think it does.

Money does solve problems, but not all. Money does speedup the planning that one has for future but not future. But it makes me the most satisfied and happy when I spend it in a way without expecting a return. In my experience with life, I have met people who would calculate each penny spent and will make sure that they get the return from the spent. Though this is good when we talk about money spent on worldly things, but things become different when the same rule is applied to relationships. There are parents who will make sure that they get back what they have spent on their children, there are sons who look after their parents for their properties, there are daughters who make sure that what ever the trouble that her family faces , she makes sure that she is happy, there are husbands who ensalve their wives without giving them any financial freedom, their are daughter-in-laws who are as calculative as their husbands. I'm not going to talk much about relationships here, I would some day publish a blog on that. So getting back to money,though important, its not everything in life.

Though I sound a bit ascetic in above paragraphs, that doesn't in anyway mean that I don't love money, everyone does. But running after it should not make us miss the most important moments in our lives. If working for an additional hour earns you £200, spending the same one hour with your loved one will make them feel how important they are to you, spending the same one hour at a friends place will strengthen your friendship (I've always strongly believed that friends are the only good things happened in my life, that makes me the most wealthy and richest :-)), spending the same hour with parents and family shows how much you care. I understand what you think at the moment, that how can you do all these things in the same hour, we don't have any magic to be present at so many places at the same time, please pardon my stupid sense of humor, but I think I made my point clear.

Last but not the least, its easy to earn money but its difficult to make most of it. There should be always a direct proportion between how much we earn and how much is spent, i.e. there is always a limit on the spending; money overspent is always dangerous. One should not in any way be influenced by the spending habits of others, everyone has their own style. This is the most thought article by me, so I don't think anyone will find it of much interest. And to conclude this, I don't think what ever I have mentioned above is new, they are well known facts; but this was written just to control my spending habits, atleast now because I have written all this I'm bound to it and hopefully I'll control my spending and increase my savings. And if any one finds me over spending, please do remind me of this article.

Memories...

Never thought that putting thoughts on paper is as difficult as I'm finding it now. Aha..aha...don't u think that I'm going to give up writing. I'm not that kind who gives up anything that easily, so people don't expect too much.

Memories..thats what is life full of. Some are sweet, some bitter, not to worry this article is not a translation of YAADEIN song in english. Recently I was introduced to some of my sweetest childhood memories by a very old friend of mine and there it goes the topic of my next article.

Ok...here is a little excercise..close your eyes and recall the most beautiful moment of your life. Did something strike or are you still thinking?Take your own time.... Lemme tell you what I have just seen in my mind, it was the day when I received my first salary and bought presents for my family. I'm not making this up, this is what I just saw. Everyones life is full of such simple and yet the most profound memories. And as days pass by one gathers many more of those, some to be remembered for a life time and some to be forgotten on the next instant.Neverthless, each one of them teaches you a new fact of life.

These days, life of a average human being is nothing but a race. And why should it be not, its the SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST, and one has to work very hard to win it. When one gets into this race there is no looking back, he has to keep up with everything and in that attempt he'll never realise until late of what's lost.By the time he realises, its too late; he can never get back to the old times to create the most beautiful memories of his life.

They say PEOPLE LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES, but here is my version to it

PEOPLE LEARN FROM THEIR MEMORIES

Whether anyone agrees with me or not, one has to accept the fact that, recall a beautiful memory and you'll feel elated, a smile automatically crops-up on your face and a bad one get tormented. So people LIFE IS SHORT ..MAKE THE MOST OF NOW, make every moment a beautiful memory, gather as many as you can and the next time when I ask you to think of a beautiful memory, you should be able to answer that instantly.

Last but not the least, I hope reading my articles is not a bad memory for any of you ... :-)

TAKE IT EASY

Looking at the responses that I have received so far, from friends (who fortunately or unfortunately cannot escape the task of reading my blog even if they want to)it looks like I can continue writing for a bit longer than I actually thought. So all you people out there get ready for the unexpected.

Reading my blogs so far one might have guessed my nature to some extent by now ( I don't expect anyone to have known it completely) and if I'm not wrong most of you might have developed an opinion about me as a light hearted and a cool going individual. (As I have already asked you to expect the unexpected) On the contrary I'm quite a serious thinker and own a very bad habit of pondering over things for rather a long time than any normal individual. Its really a boon to have a cool mind, it not only makes you a stable thinker at all the times but will also allow you to make right decisions. A cousin of mine a mere 14 year old is one of such a personality.

There is a lot that I have learnt from him, whenever I get anxious or worried about something I just recall his jargon "Light Teesuko" and trust me it makes me feel so much relieved. And thats a fact there is nothing one can do worrying about things, its a mere waste of time. Don't take me wrong, I have just asked you to stop worrying that simply means have a time allocated for everything, do all you can, put your heart and soul into it and then simply forget about it.

But too much of this "Light Teesuko" attitude will also make you lazy,negligent,worst of all people will start taking you for granted and thats not going to help you much. There will be times in life when one has to be serious and where no "Light Teesuko" mantra will work, you want yourself to be heard, your opinion to be counted and that in life is not going to be easy. It takes lots of hard work and a very strong resolve to become a responsible individual that a family will be proud of. And to conclude my preaching in short .....

AWAKE, ARISE AND STOP NOT TILL THE GOAL IS REACHED

.. great words by SWAMI VIVEKANANDA.


Ok..ok that has been too much of preaching from me, I know that no one has expected this :-). Wait for some more surprises and some more stupid articles like these from me... not to worry that will not be a long break ..I'll be back very shortly.


This article here is dedicated to my cousin who is preparing for his 10th exams. Brother I just want to tell you that you are amazing and we all love you. ALL THE VERY BEST for your exams and we all wish you to have a bright bright future.

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED

I don't know why i've named this article 'Expect the unexpected', could be simply because its my horoscope forecast for the day. And i feel writing lots of things going further, so to everyone who reads my blogs..'Expect the unexpected'.

Its kind of strange isn't it, its been happening all my life; things i do not expect at all happen all the time. Life would have been a lot simpler if I had expected all those unexpected things. Ok..ok...I will not confuse with all my expected, unexpected stuff any more, I'll write something a bit more meaningful.

Except the very few extremely well organized individuals in this world, I apologize I cannot name any of them, there will be atleast one situation in an individuals life where things do not go as planned. Again the above mentioned very well organized individuals are exceptions to the normal emotional process that one would undergo under such circumstances. The outcomes of the emotional process vary from individual to individual, some get depressed, some start writing stupid artices as I'm doing at the moment, some avoid the problem, some simply blame others as that is the easiest thing to do and the bravest of all face the problem, investigate the cause, try to realise their contribution to creating it and will invest all efforts to resolve it. And when they do it, they do it sincerely and will they be able to resolve it?

I cannot affirmatively say that they will be, then what about all that i have described in above paragraph. No one in this world will have a solution to all the problems that one will have, but one who is brave.. in a situation where a problem cannot be resolved, will learn to live with it and get on with it. When a individual realises that, LIFE DOESN'T stop FOR ANYONE OR ANYTHING, he will investigate workaround for his problems and eventually he will become a master at tackling his problems( It doesn't necessarily mean that the brave individual will have to face problems all his life time) and helping others do the same.

And finally...ITS LIFE ..NOTHING GOES AS EXPECTED ...AND DEFINITELY ... NO ONE CAN EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED.

And finally finally thanks for all those who have successfully read till the article ends ... please do not curse me if all that stuff doesn't really makes any sense, as I have mentioned above I'm writing all this under depression, so hope all of you don't mind.
